Why did this happen - Bennet001



She loved him, she loved him with all her heart but they could never be together or risk disaster. Twilight was left with an impossible choice. Stay and love him and loss him forever or do something... horrible.

When i saw Twilight removing his memory i was like. AAW HEEEEL NO!
And did she remove the past 3 days of memories or all?:derpyderp2::derpyderp1::derpyderp2::derpyderp1::derpyderp2::derpyderp1::derpyderp2:

3407387
Everything. Plus some stuff she didn't count on.

3407392
So you mean that he is a vegetable now or what?
Because that just broke me in 3 pieces:raritydespair:

When is sequel up? And wtf will happen with Spike?

Twilight is best whorse

3407400
Huh? I thought it was clear that she took all the memories surrounding her, his emotions to her, and got rid of them. Not a vegetable just that Twilight isn't a big part of his life anymore... Well she is but in a totally different way then before. To tease. Spike said that the ponies had gone up and down the book when they use to torture him. Those leave scars.

This... Just....Just ow... my feels :fluttercry:

The fic was GREAT btw. cant wait to read the sequal

I hope something good happens to Spike in the sequel, things always seem to go bad for Spike.

3407481
I promise nothing.:ajbemused:

3407412

I mean Twilight teaches Spike right?
And if she removes all memories about here= Most knowledge gone?
And how will this work? I mean the others will ask about him for a while.

Oh shit i realized a thing. He said that people forgot about his extincene after a while.
Just a request:twilightblush:, make spike remeber everything he forgot and make him go berserk,''Talk with Twilight''.
Or tell Celestia.

3407505
Everything has it's time. Spike will remember, Celestia will know, and what happens to Twilight after... Well that's up in the air.

3407514

About when will the sequel be up?

And to the rest...

ALL ONBOARD TO THE FELLTRAIN! IT WILL BE MANY SWINGS!:pinkiecrazy:

3407581
Soon. I'm working till the chapters are done and will try to stay ahead by three chapters or so. That is to say I Will finish three chapters before posting the first one.

well bugger me, i did not see that coming :fluttershysad:
is there any hope for Spike to be with the one he loves? :unsuresweetie: or is there no hope :raritydespair:

I cried----it was really sad and heartwarming

3408225
Thank you. I am so shocked right now. I thought a vast majority of readers would hate this, But... Like I have people favoriteing this... and i don't know what to do. I want to message people I do... But what do I say?

3408238 I feel like this will be popularly then my fics. Hell this is better then my stories...WE WANT MORE!

Riz

Why's its Alt Uni ? What's the difference ?

3410389
I had thought of putting it as AU for a while since Twilight and Spike are OOC and since in the squeal there will be parts that are completely different from the show.

WHAT THE BUCK DID YOU DO?!?!?!?:twilightangry2: I'm going to go mope around for more of this. Why the sad ending, WHY!?!?!?!?
Uggh :facehoof: my head hurts
Really good though :twilightsmile:

3416191
There is one more chapter then I will finish the first chapter of the sequel. No happy ending though. Just complicated.

3416195 I can see that. Also in chapter 2 you wrote Chow, it's spelled Ciao

3416196
I say chow. Ciao is unfortunately too Spanish for me, boss man's friends told me.

3416198 Works for me, Loving the story so far, I'm really interested in what happens next :pinkiehappy:

3416202
Well I think the picture says what will happen at the end... If you know what the whole thing is anyways.

3416204 Wait, now that I look at that picture, there's no way that's her right arm, it's...Spike's?

3416215
Yes. It truly speaks a lot if you know the actual image.

THAT CAN'T BE IT NO NOT LIKE THIS SOMETHING HAS TO HAPPEN!!!
PLEASE HAPPY END WITH LOVE AND HAPPYNESS NOT SADNESS AND REGRET PLEASE!!!

3435887
I am so, so sorry.

Sorry if I can't :fluttercry:comment every chapter of this wonderful SpiLight but |I'll say it::yay:
THIS BUCKING ROCKS!!!!!
I love how Twilight questions her feelings as she knows what consequences awaits her still...... is Spike really that young?:pinkiesmile:

why not

Wait. Are you gonna release the new book or some new chapters and when?

3458963
First a new chapter. Then a sequel. As to when... Well that's up in the air. A week. Two, maybe tomorrow. I'm waiting for inspiration. And trying to get everything right.

No offense but this the end of chapter three is fucking messed up

3469681
It was meant to be. How did you feel when it happened?

Shiiiiiit...:fluttercry:
That was fucked up.
Great work though.

3473033 To reason this that Twilight is afraid that if any pony discovered her relation and this kind of intimacy they will surely took away Spike from her that's why she erased his memory,,,,,
But I agree it's sad....

3480469
Well i knew that much, she was backed to a corner and like she said she had a choice of two evils. All I was trying to say was that the feels had a very strong presence in this chapter. And ya when I read this I was earnest for an hour.

3405314

Did that clear up for you yet?

What do you mean? You edited chapter one?

You as the reader go in and immerse yourself in a world of literature to lose yourself for a bit. That's not what this story is about. This is about Spike and Twilight.

What's the difference is supposed to be? That's exactly why I need to know more about them, to be able to immerse myself in their story. Especially when the author is working on a very different and personal version of such characters.

Twilight and Spike have done nothing that would require they explain anything about their physiology or at least Twilight hasn't

Yet she did a small (and confusing) description of Spike.

I have some mixed feelings on chapter two. No, not because of Spike's innocence. Dr. Feldman and Dra. Papalia, would certainly approve it.
But stuff like: There are only 3 ponies in all of Equestria who know Spike is a dragon. And all that it implies.
Spike being friend and hang out with a group of grown up women. Wich could be questionable in so many levels.:yay:
And I don't get it... When Spike first goes to wake up Twilight she is naked, right? Then they go to eat breakfast, and I'm to believe she got herself something to wear. But later on she is naked again. How is that supposed to work? :rainbowhuh:
Among other stuff. Still, I'm enjoying this story a lot. And I do believe you have potential.

3484221
AH! I see. This actually came from a habit I have. First I get casual clothes, just like an undershirt and shorts, to start off my day. Then if I have something to do I get changed into classy clothes.

So far I'm gonna have to count this story as a win/fail. :facehoof:

3484279 That may be true. I do the same, and I bet most poeple do it as well. But that doesn't explain why Twilight was standing in the middle of her room naked for no aparent reason :yay:

3484546
Don't most girls go to sleep in underwear only? Or just me?

3484634 Ho! So she was wearing underclothes the whole time? If so, then it's fine. But it only counts as half naked XD

3484722
There's a difference? She has to take off the underclothes to put on her underware and she couldn't even find those.

3484747 It's a girls stuff I guess:rainbowlaugh:

Why is it so hard to find fanfics on this fandom that claim to be tragic, and are truly tragic? I'm sorry my Lady, but this wasn't tragic. Nor Sad. This was dull, pretentious and extremely forced. Not even Shyamalan himself could have come up with such a bad twist. :facehoof:
Why is it so hard to explain Spike why they can't be toghether? Why can't she just ask him to wait? Why doesn't she remove her own memories of the last few days? That would make far more sense. If ponies hate/fear dragons so much, how can Twilight and/or Celestia let Spike go play around the city by himself? And she took aways ALL of his memories? You do realize that would mean Spike won't even remember who Twilight and therefore he's gonna be really afraid (among other things) of her tomorrow morning? Come to think of it. How is Twilight going to explain to Celestia, Joe or anyone else that all of a sudden Spike knows nothing about her? Sure, Lelouch did the same with Shirley on Code Geass. But they didn't live/grew up toghether, to begin with!

I'm sorry. I should have seen this coming. Authors on this site, almost every time, tend to ruin their own stories when they try to come up with a 'Tragic ending'. And sadly, now I need to add this story to the list.

I am so shocked right now. I thought a vast majority of readers would hate this, But

And they should. But people on this fandom are very easily impressed, and extremely condescending when it comes to 'Tragedy'. Most of them do so, cuz they don't even know how tragedy works to begin with.

But even with such a mediocre ending, this was actually a nice story. And you do show some true writing skills. Skills that no doubt will get better in time. And belive it or not, I'd like to see that. Best of lucks to you.

3485261
Really? Ouch the truth hurts. :rainbowhuh: This isn't the end.
That aside, let me try and answer some of the misconceptions in this post. It's not difficult to explain to Spike why they can't be together, he already knows they can't be. I guess I didn't really hit on the point clear enough... Yet. Also she hasn't taken all the memories of her, but the emotions behind the memories. But there is going to be a shift in character which will make it so much easier to lie to Celestia.
I was trying to make this even a little sad. So I guess I failed on that point. This only means I can get better. Thank you for the input. I actually have been geeking out that you actually reviewed my story. So seriously thank you.

3482209I ask you if you where Twi..... would you want to lose your best friend in a way that society will judge you.....wordsonimages.com/pics/95460-o.jpg

3485351 Since English is not my native language, I’m not sure what ‘geeking out’ is supposed to mean. But you’re are welcome, I guess. :twilightsheepish:

The thing about Tragedy is that you can’t create it the same way you create Action, Slapstick, Gore or Porn, which are all very self-explanatory. But tragedy is a science of its own. It is not enough to describe the event (except when dealing with this fandom, as I already explain). You have to explain WHY the event is supposed to be tragic in the eyes of the characters and the audience, and give them reasons to believe so.
The reason why this ending doesn’t work as a tragedy it’s because when I ask myself ‘Why did this happen, and why should I feel sad about it?’, I can’t find a better answer than ‘Because the author wanted it that way’.

Granted, that technically is more or less the explanation for everything that has ever happened in any fictional story. But in Full Metal Alchemist for example, we are presented to the story of two brothers who devote their lives to find a way to bring their mother back from the dead. But instead of being rewarded by their efforts, the resurrection is a tremendous disaster that almost kills both brothers and sets them on a new journey full of danger, adventures and sorrow. It was all for the sake of the plot of course. But it was very well paced and justified, allowing the audience to connect with both the story and the characters.

In this case however, right out of the blue Twilight decides to take the most drastic, painful and IRRATIONAL course of action available. Something that at this point is not such a big deal, cuz it is what she’s been doing the whole story anyway. On top of that, we have to listen to Twilight ramble again and again about how self-aware she is that she is doing something very coward, horrible and evil, and therefore she is a very, very coward, horrible and evil pony. Once again, this is something Twilight’s been doing the whole story: Feel sorry for herself.
So yeah. By the end, all that Twilight does and feels is kind of more of the same. And with the lack of consistency on top, it feels forced and not as interesting as it was before.

It could have totally been an awesome bitter/tragic ending. But it wasn’t the right execution.
But once again I repeat. The story isn’t bad. And with a sequel coming up, maybe this ending will redeem itself and serve some a purpose. But that’s tomorrow. And I can’t wait for it.
